"TACHIAGARE, BOKU NO BUNSHIN! BURASUTA BUREIDO!" Kamishiro chanted, placing a card on top of his vanguard.

"Oh my god, you're a weeb!" Hikaru said. In his mind, he could imagine an unique Blaster Blade. A Blaster Blade with sunglasses and a curly moustache. This picture in his mind was something that would haunt him forever. "Oh god, I can't unseen it now!"

"ABIRUTI BURASUTO! Bye bye Iron Killer! Then call, Zenon! Superior ride! TACHIAGARE AGAIN, BOKU NO BUNSHIN! BURASUTO BUREIDO!"

"Oh not this weeb crap again!"

"ABIRUTI BURASUTO! Bye bye King of Sword!"

"I can't believe I'm getting cucked by freaking Johnny Bunshincon!"

"Still not an insult. Go, bunshin!"

The front door of Hage opened to revealed Ryuuga and Emon, who entered the store. Fujiko was on the other side of the counter typing something into the store's computer.

"Finally those two got here." Kamishiro said, geetting up from his chair while Hikaru wondered how he had lost to the store manager. "Ryuuga, Emon, Fujiko and Hikaru too. I have a favor to ask the four of you!"

"A-another...?" Ryuuga asked.

"Last time we did you a favor, we wasted a whole saturday. I wasted last week's saturday helping Heiwa so you better not make me waste this saturday!" Hikaru said.

"I promise this time I won't waste your time. This favor is something good." Kamishiro affirmed, his lips forming a smirk.

(Opening)

"S-special competition b-between us...?" Ryuuga asked.

"Exactly. I mini tiny tournament between you four. I'd say it would be a cool idea. Besides, it's saturday morning and the store is kinda.... Empty. Most players don't get here until the afternoon. And hey, if you do this competition, I'll give the four of you a special surprise."

The four teenagers looked at each and start thinking about the offer. What could be this surprise Kamishiro was refering to? New cards? Money? An actual trophy? Or was this competition just a waste of time?

'I think this could be a good way to improve...' Ryuuga nodded. "I'm i-in."

"I don't really have a choice." Fujiko said with a sigh. "I'm in too."

"You can count me in." Emon declared.

"If these three are gonna do it, I'll do it too. It ain't a party without me. How bad can this go?"

"Spread 'em cheeks to oblivion! Perfect Raizer!" Hikaru called out, resting a card on his field. "Beat 'em up!"

"D-d-damage check..." Ryuuga flipped over the top card of his deck and placed it into his damage zone. "I-i lost to you again..."

"High I.Q. Novas rule supreme! Oh yeah, I beat Spikes again! When I play Raizers you gon' catch these hands! Oh yeah, I beat Spikes again!" Hikaru sang happily while Ryuuga packed his cards.

"Guard. Two Sphere Magus and two Psyhic Birds." Fujiko calmly said, placing four cards in the middle of the playmat.

"I just need some triggers to break out of that." Emon confidently said, flipping over two cards from his deck. "Nothing. Turn end."

"Stand and draw. Call Victorious Deer and using his skill. Imperial Daughter, attack."

"No guard on my end."

"I got two criticals on my drive check and give them all to Imperial Daughter."

Emon sighed and placed the top four cards of his deck into his damage. "I didn't got nothing here. You win, Abe."

"Hell yeah, I did! Nothing can beat my Oracle Think Tank!"

"No wonder, it's the best clan in Tier 1 ever since ever." Hikaru joked. Fujiko raised her hand in response, which made Hiakru hide under the table. "I-i wasn't saying that y-you only played big tier clans!"

"Oh you guys are done with getting to the finalists? That was quick." Kamishiro said from the counter. He got up and guided the four players to the advanced fighting table of Hage. "FInalists will fight here because let's face it, I wouldn't be much of a manager if I let the finalists fight in a normal table, now would I?"

"Well, you're not even that good of a manger either way so whatever." Fujiko coldly said, looking through her deck for Lozenge Magus. Once she found it, she placed it face down on the table.

"That was cold... Anyway, that the final match of this tiny competition begings! We have Hikaru and Nova Grapplers against Fujiko and Oracle Think Tank! Begin!" Kamishiro took a step back and joined Ryuuga and Emon.

"It's ironic how the two Force users lost on the first round." Emon said before chuckling. "I guess the other Gifts are just too good."

"Y-your irony s-sometimes seems weird..." Ryuuga mumbled.

"So, are you ready to fall down against my bigbrain I.Q. Novas deck? I will show you just how good Raizers are." Hikaru said with a confident smirk.

"You really think I'll be that easy to beat? Don't get ahead of yourself." Fujiko replied, she too having a confident smirk on her lips. "Stand up, Vanguard!"

"Stand up, my Vanguard!"

"I ride Logenze Magus! (Grade 0|6000)" Fujiko's circle expanded purple.

"I'll be riding the one and only Battleraizer! (Grade 0|6000)" Hikaru's circle expanded light blue. "After you."

"I'm surprised that you as a Nova Grappler player doesn't wants to go first. Ride, Circle Magus! (Grade 1|8000) I draw one card and end my turn."

"What can I say? I am going with the plan I made to defeat you." Hikaru said, drawing a card from his deck and looking at it. "I ride Transraizer! (Grade 1|8000)"

"T-transraizer? H-he didn't r-rode Raizer Custom..." Ryuuga muttered.

"Raizer Custom wouldn't do much as a vanguard if you went second. Unless you want to lose a card and not getting a drive check like a dumb dumb." Hikaru said. "I draw a card and swing for some circular booty! (8000)"

"You need to start noticing what you say... No guard."

"(King of Swords) Nothing."

"(Promise Daughter) No trigger."

"And there goes the skin thight suit waifu that is Promise Daughter. Shadow Paladin players who seen Promise Daughter in the damage zone cry of happiness. Turn end."

'It's just a matter of denying counterblast until he rides Perfect Raizer. I'll just swing at any rears he calls.' Fujiko thought. Drawing the top card of her deck, she placed it on top of her vanguard. "I ride Goddess of Insight, Sotoorihime! (Grade 2|9000) I draw using Circle's skill. Then, I attack! (9000)"

'I guess she's thinking that she can beat me by denying me damage, but I already thought on how to work around that. These aren't high I.Q. Novas for no reason.' "No guard."

"Drive check! (CEO Amaterasu) Nothing in this one."

"Takin' a damage. (Turboraizer - Front) Big oof. All to the front row. (8000)"

"Turn end for me."

"No rear-guards? I see what you're doing. No guard."

"(Iron Killer) Another Grade 2 who can get thick."

"Damage check. (Imperial Daughter) No trigger."

"Your damage zone has more daughters than my parents. Turn end."

'He avoid damage denial by not calling rears and I can't even deny him damage on this turn. I just need to save up hand cards and then beat him next turn. it's as simple as that.' "Stand and draw. I ride CEO Amaterasu! (Grade 2|12000) Imaginary Gift, Protect!" Fujiko placed a Gift Marker into her hand. "And then, Amaterasu' skill. Counterblast, draw one. I check the top and decide it fate." She looked at the card and remembered the current state of the game. "Stays on top. Amaterasu powers up! (12000>>17000) I call out Farfalla Magus! (Grade 1|8000) Checking the top card and deciding it's fate once again. On the bottom again. Amaterasu! (17000>>22000) Boosted by Farfalle, Amaterasu! (22000>>30000)"

"No matter what trigger you get, I still get the damage needed for shiny Raizer. No guard."

"It's not like I could use my heal trigger to heal you. (Psychic Bird - Critical)" Fujiko grit her teeth.

"Oof, hard choice now. It's either waste a chance at dealing damage or giving a high I.Q. Novas user big damage. So, what's it gonna be?"

"All to the vanguard! (22000>>32000/2) Second check. (Silent Tom)"

"My damage check. (Battledore Fighter|Wall Boy - Heal)" Hikaru sighed and placed Battledore Fighter into the drop zone. "Lucky you, I guess. (19000)"

Fujiko smirked and nodded. "Turn end."

"Now let's see just how quickly I can burn through that big hand. Stand and draw. Strive forward, perfect hero! Perfect Raizer, ride! (Grade 3|12000) Imaginary Gift, Accel to death, baby! I'll call out two Iron Killer units (Grade 2|9000) (Grade 2|9000>>19000); Raizer Custom (Grade 1|8000); and last but not least, a Battledore Fighter! (Grade 3|12000) Let's jam and spread some OTT meta cheeks! Boosted by Custom, Iron Kilelr is gonna jam it! 5k cuz skills that give power in Novas are good! (9000>>17000>>22000)"

'It's either waste less cards guarding the first wave of attacks or waste more with the second wave. I don't need to think twice about this!' Fujiko thought, placing her trusty Psychic Bird on the Guardian Circle. "Guard! (27000)"

"Accel Iron Killer, your turn to jam it good! (19000>>24000)"

"Nike! (27000)"

"Stop cucking my deck. Perfect Raizer, super jam! I'm gonna stand my two Iron Killers by paying a cost that isn't worth it. Custom stands because he is an independent android. (12000>>18000)"

"Protect! Your attack is nullified!"

"gODDAMMIT THIS CUCKING IS TO HARD! (Twin Blader - Draw) Nice, very nice! Battledore goes madman! (12000>>22000) (Jetraizer) Rip this one. Cuztom with Iron Killer! (9000>>17000>>22000)"

"I take that! (Promise Daughter)"

"Another SP players cries with joy. Accel Iron Killer! (19000>>24000)"

"And again, no guard! (CEO Amaterasu)"

"Battledore goes boom boom! Don't forget that jamming skill! (22000>>27000)"

"And a last time, I don't guard! (Oracle Guardian, Gemini)"

"Welp, time to lose next turn. Kill me quicker than you cucked me." Hikaru said, looking up and closing his eyes.

"This sure is a sight to see! Oracle Think Tank and Nova Grappler having the same number of hand cards! And the Nova Grappler player is even winning!" Kamishiro said, taking off his sunglasses to wipe a tear of emotion. "This is what I love Vanguard so much!"

"Stand and draw!" Fujiko smirked, her eyes locked on Hikaru. "Imprisioned daughter of the emperor, break free from the chains that restrain you from your true power! I ride Imperial Daughter! (Grade 3|12000) I'm pretty sure you know by now what she can do. (12000>>27000/2) I call Sotoorihime (Grade 2|9000); Gemini (Grade 1|8000); Circle Magus (Grade 1|8000) and Promise Daughter! (Grade 2|9000) Imperial Daughter's skill, power up Sotoorihime. (9000>>15000) Boosted by Farfalle Magus, Imperial Daughter attacks the vanguard! (27000/2>>35000/2)"

"I could lose right now..." Hikaru said, opening eyes and looking back at Fujiko. "But I wouldn't be much of a high I.Q. Novas user if I did! Twin Blader, be a G and protect your brudda!"

"Twin drive! (Oracle Guardian, Nike - Critical|Circle Magus) Critical trigger! I'll give all effects to Sotoorihime! (15000>>25000/2) Now Promise Daughter will attack! (9000>>17000>>23000)"

"No guard. (Perfect Raizer) My shiny one..."

"Sotoorihime! Using her skill, I pay a counterblast to add 6000! (25000/2>>31000/2) Then, I draw a card and discard one. But since I have a Grade 3 vanguard, I also check the top card of my deck and decide it's fate. To the bottom. (31000/2>>39000/2)"

"And I take that. (Burstraizer|Queen of Hearts) Too bad for you, I wasn't finished by that."

"I can just finish you next turn. Turn end!"

Hikaru grinned. "People who say that don't usually have a next turn."

"Time to do an anime top deck. I stand, and..." Hikaru drew a card in the most drmatical way he could think of. "DRAW! Booyah, magnificent top deck. I'm gonna rush my way to victory without stoping to think because life's too short for that! Perfect Raizer, persona ride! (Grade 3|12000) Accel is gonna accel once again! Jetraizer, let's go! (Grade 1|7000) Now let's make Jetraizer go me me big boy by calling Burstraizer! (Grade 2|9000>19000) This is gonna be a nice and smooth final turn for me. I'm not gonna simply jam, I'm gonna jam and spread 'em cheeks!"

Fujiko sweatdropped. "Can you just stop with the weird talk...?"

"Dammit, you took away my groove... Let's jam..." Hikaru weakly said. "Burstraizer. (19000)"

"Intercept with both my units! (22000)"

"Hngh this cucking doesn't stops IT DOESN'T STOPS! Accel Killer, kill it! (19000>>24000)"

"Nike! (27000)"

"Normal Killer! (9000>>17000>>22000)"

"Bird! (27000)"

"Perfect Raizer! Super jam time! Standing both Killers, same with Custom. And then, with Burstraizer's skill, he stands! And since I already jammed super hard, he also goes me me big boy! (19000>>22000) Kill it, my not so shiny Perfect Raizer! (12000>>18000)"

"Protect, nullify again!" Fujiko started panting. 'This would be easier if he hadn't rode another Perfect Raizer. I'm at five and need to somehow survive another four attacks. I'll be powerless if he gets a Front. He can't get a Front! I won't let him!'

"Twin jam! (Asura Kaiser|Turboraizer - Front) Explosion fronted! Jam your away to victory, front row! (19000>>29000) (9000>>19000) (12000>>22000) (12000>>22000) (22000>>32000)"

Fujiko grit her teeth. 'Three cards left, four attacks incoming. Think, Fujiko! Think!'

"F-fujiko is in for trouble... H-hikaru's w-whole formation just g-got too strong..." Ryuuga commented.

"Burstraizer! (32000)"

"Sphere and Promise! (37000)"

"Down to one card already? Welp. Battleore Fighter! (22000>>32000>>37000)"

"N-no guard... (Sphere Magus - Heal) I-i got it! A-a heal trigger! A s-sixth damage heal trigger! I'm still in this game! (22000)"

"Hngh goddamit! Iron Killer! (19000>>27000>>32000) You gonna catch this hands!"

"Not yet! After this heal trigger, I'm not gonna give up! Damage check!" 'I just need another heal!' "Heal trigger, come to me! (Silent Tom)"

"Booyeah, I kicked the ass of the most meta clan there is! Who's the best? Hikaru is! Who's the bets? Hikaru is!"

"Who's going to catch my hand if he keeps singing?" Fujiko askes, singing along with Hikaru while raising her right handm which cause him to back down.

"Hikaru is please don't slap me again!"

"Nice game, all of you! I have my surprise in the counter so let's go." Kamishiro declared, guiding the four teenagers to the front counter of the store. Once there, he started looking for something. "Watch some TV while I get your surprise." He grabbed the remote and turned on the television screen.

"I-i wonder what you will get, Hikaru."

"Me too, Ryuuga. Me too." He looked at the television and squinted. 'It's Ryuuga's most likely favourite Accel user! Richboi Ryuzaki!'

"R-ryuzaki...?" Ryuuga muttered, looking the television screen. It showed Ryuzaki sitted in front of a red table with some Vanguard booster boxes on top. "W-what's he doing..?"

"Yo, you wanna make a name for yourself in the cardboard- What do you mean I need to follow the script? Last time a script was followed ehre, Aqua Force won by stacking. Fuck it, fine. Okay so let's see this... Got it. Hello, cardfighters! My name is Ryuzaki Mikazuchi, but you probably already know that. Do you think you and your team have what it takes to take on the national tournament? Are you super sure about it? Like, super super sure? Then fill out the form for your turn and get yourself into the regional tournament first! When's the regionals? Two weeks from now! You win your regionals, you got to nationals! It's as easy as 2 plus 2, isn't it? So get your form at your nearest card shop, fill it and I'll see you at regionals! Legends say that those who shine at nationals can make all of their dreams come true! Cardfighters, stand up, vanguard!"

"Who needs regionals? That's such an anime like thing." Hikaru sarcastically asked.

"Those who shine at nationals... Can make all of their dreams come true... I-i need to enter the nationals!" Ryuuga said.

"What? How? With what team?" 

"I-i don't know... B-but I n-need to do it! Somehow!"

"Oh would have guessed, I happen to have a form sheet to the regionals here." Kamishiro waved the paper sheet. "Why don't you four enter it?"

"You're telling me to enter a tournamet? Please, I got better stuff to do."

"A tournament? I'm not very sure. Me and Emon have our duties as members of the Royalty."

"Abe is right." Emon said. "However, we are already a team and there's no denying it. We've spent so much time together. We might not have known each other for that long, but I know that if became a team, we would win against everyone we faced. We would be unbeatable. So I say yes to this. Abe, Hikaru, you two may sit out if you want, but I'm entering the regionals with Ryuuga."

"T-thanks, Emon!"

"Hey, if my BFF and Emomon are gonna be a team and enter some tourney, then I gotta do the same. Bros before whatever the hell I had planned to do in two weeks. What about you Queenie? You in our out?"

"I... But we... Hngh fine, I'll join you four. I guess we got ourselves a team then." Fujiko sighed and stole the paper sheet in Kamishiro's hand. Then, she start reading through it. "So we need four members, a team name and a team leader. I say Ryuuga takes the leader spot since it's his idea to enter the tournament."

"M-m-m-m-me?! N-n-no way!!"

"I say we make Queenie the leader for the lols. She plays the tier 1 clan of this team."

"I agree with Hikaru. I too think Abe is the best person for the team leader spot."

"Wait wait wait, I'm no tea-"

"Y-you also have m-my vote for l-leader!"

"But..." Fujiko rubbed her forehead and then sighed. "Fine, since this is 3 against 1. I'll be the team leader. But just this once!" She said before starting to filling the form sheet. "We need a name. A team name."

"First one who says Still Unnamed gets 'em cheeks spread by my high I.Q. Novas. But I think Team Hikaru sounds good."

"Team Fiery Wings!" Emon said.

"S-soaring Falcon?" Ryuuga jokingly said.

"Why not Team Hage? Afterall, we were made in Hage."

"Innuendo game too strong. As the winenr of the irrelevant mini tourny, I say we make our name depending on some facts. How did we all met each other?"

"B-because we c-came to Hage?"

"No, smarty. We met each other because of Ryuuga. He came here and united us. But why did he came here?"

"Because he wanted to improve so that he could beat Ryuzaki Mikazuchi."

"Exactly, Emomon! We met Ryuuga because of his dream, and then met each other as a group. And what was your dream, Ryuuga shounen!" Hikaru asked, purposefully making his voice thicker than needed.

"T-t-to travel a-around the world!!"

"And what is the name of this world?"

"E-earth!"

"Queenie, you're smart, what is another name for Earth?"

"Hm.... I'd say Terra. It means Earth in alot of different languages."

"We got ourselves a word for the name! But there's no way on Earth that Team Terra will sound cool enough. We need another word! Ryuuga, you're dream is to travel the world, there for you want to...?"

"G-go around the world...?"

"Perfect! Go around! Queenie and Emomon, another name for 'Go around'!"

"Huh... Circular?"

"Spiral?"

"Genial, Emomon! Genial! We shall be Team Spiral Terra, born from Ryuuga's dream that only Vanguard can make reality!"

"That name... Actually is good. yeah, Spiral Terra! I like it!" Fujiko wrote down the name of the newly formed team on the paper sheet and handed it to the store manager. "We are Team Spiral Terra, and we are going to win the regionals and nationals!"

Hikaru sighed and looked at the television screen. "So we got ourselves a badass name that explains how we all met. I like the sound of it. Spiral Terra... Sounds like a freaking franchise, y'know?"

"Y-yeah... A-and together, w-we're going t-to win the regionals a-and nationals!" Ryuuga looked at the television screen with confident eyes. "N-nothing can s-stop us!"

(Ending)

"Let's see..." Ryuzaki looked through a mountain of paper sheets until one caught his attention." Team Spiral Terra? Members are... Well look at this, those four really are gonna do it. I always had hope for them."

Kamishiro: Huh? Preview? Oh please, it's the last chapter of Volume 2 so there's no preview!
